Picked up a new set of wheels after being wheel-less since February. I was starting to feel naked rolling on my stockies and not slammed.

Test fitting the wheels, need to get some tires mounted and mess with my suspension to get them to work. Let me know what you guys think...

I have the tires from my last set up, 215/35/19 and 235/35/19, the 215 were prety streched out on a 9 inch rim, so i might get 225/35/19 for the fronts. Planning on going as low as i can, imma cut holes in my towers this time around to eliminate my skunks from hitting.

Yea im not a big fan of chrome, but the chrome is in such good condition that im not about to strip the centers and polish them just yet.

I know, you shouldve seen my face when i saw the stretch with 215s on the 9" wheel. Drove perfect though, hopefully i can mount them tomorrow at work.

Got three tires mounted and the last one would just not bugde. Decided to run the 215/35's on the 9.5 fronts and the last wheel is just not seating properly. It has small air leaks coming out around the front lip. I tried cleaning the lip, using bead sealer, and inspected the bead and nothing. The stretch on it is insane and im guessing its too much for the tire, im gona have to break down and buy some 225/35's to be on the safe side. hopefully ill have them by next weekend.

good call on the 225's. i have them on 9.5 also and the stretch isnt too bad. i ran similar offsets up front with a +22, so you should be fine with the 225's and +20 ET. delays FTL

alrite had some time this morning and got down to bussiness. slammed the TL and messed with the camber. i like how the car sits but the only issue now is that the front tires rub on turns. i am maxed out on my skunk uca's and it looks like i have absolutely no camber up front. i dont think i have more than 2 degrees in camber, i need to find a way to get more neg camber off them, but for now here are some pics till i get a chance to do good photoshoot.

thanks for the great comments, i still have to mess with the ride height / camber settings but i like the way it looks. just need to pull off my front bumper and get it on the alignment rack to adjust the camber evenly and set the toe straight.

already rolled my rear fenders but i bought this from eastwood.com to get a little bit more clearance on all four corners.

Car looks amazing! How well does that Eastwood tool work? Seems like it would be hard on the outer edge is the fenders, but seems like it would be great for the front fenders on the TL.
